Plain and simple: She should have driven a harder bargain or not gone for it.

Also #3, #3, #3, and #3. People don't read the little bit on Groupon where it says "tip like you're not getting a discount," or just ignore it, and also #3.

Groupons terms are not really negotiable.

They offered me the same terms when I called them about my retail stores. (want min 50% off for consumer, they take 50% of revenue). I told them it was too rich. They wouldn't budge. I walked away.

They have a 6 month waiting list in some areas, why would they negotiate.

I am amazed that so many businesses accept these terms. There is just no way it makes sense.

Merchant should have taken into account #3.
